The Masters field 2027: Who has already booked their trip to Augusta National?
Take a look at how the field is shaping up for the first men's major of the year at Augusta National.
The countdown to the 2027 Masters is under way, with Augusta National preparing to welcome golf's biggest names for the first major championship of the year next April.
Although the field is far from complete, a number of players have already secured their invitations through major championship victories, previous Masters success and performances on the PGA Tour.
Defending champion Rory McIlroy will return to Augusta looking to add another green jacket to his collection, while world number one Scottie Scheffler is likely to be among the leading contenders once again.
Both players have already secured their places, alongside a host of familiar faces.
Jon Rahm, Hideki Matsuyama, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed are among the former champions guaranteed a return to Georgia.
Two of the tournament's most recognisable figures, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, are also eligible through their previous Masters victories.
Woods and Mickelson have lifetime invitations to Augusta.
For Woods, his participation over 8-11 April on his level of fitness.
As for Mickelson, the six-time major champion missed all four of last year's majors owing to a private family health matter. He also faced accusations of inappropriate behaviour.
The qualification process remains ongoing, with places still available through the 2026 major championships, selected international tournaments and the Official World Golf Ranking.
Winners of the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, Latin America Amateur Championship and several national Opens will also earn invitations.
